18                    Special Situation (see below)                                     Habitat-Population Management

 

Areas where deer populations may occur, intermittently, or in small numbers.  In some instances, the public may receive wildlife viewing, photographic or consumptive recreational uses.  However, land ownership, social carrying capacity considerations, weather limitations, range conditions, and small size or configuration of the topography is not suitable to manage for increasing deer populations at the present time.Other situations could include game farms, tribal lands, past catastrophic fires, invasion of weedy species, feral horses etc.
